Something’s going down at Cinderella Castle! Cinderella Castle Stage Just yesterday, we spotted construction on a temporary STAGE in front of Cinderella Castle! Now, crews are out filming on the new stages all-day today, and it just might be for the modified ABC holiday special. Today, the stage had a lot of added components like two bridges and purple fabric around the bases. That’s certainly a Christmas-y color! Still, we’re not sure whether the filming is for a holiday special as it could just as easily be for promotional or marketing purposes. Cinderella Castle Stage Interestingly enough, the stages also have SLIDES. Uh…that’s pretty cool. Cinderella Castle Stage Both ends of the ramp they’re filming on currently are roped off and we caught a glimpse of costumes and supplies set up off to the side. Cinderella Castle Filming We could even see them getting a start on filming when we got there this morning! Cinderella Castle Filming Looks like bubbles are going to be a feature!

Welcome back to another what’s new! Today, we visited the Disney resorts that are on the monorail loop! Monorail While looking for the latest food, construction, and merchandise, we found some new holiday treats, an old favorite, and some transportation updates. So, let’s get started! Food Updates Disney’s Polynesian Resort In the Polynesian’s gift shop, Boutiki, we spotted the Honolulu Cookies back in stock! This is the first time they have been back in store since July! Honolulu Cookies A Cast Member told us these cookies are so popular that they get asked about them almost every day. These are some of the most delicious shortbread cookies we’ve ever had and we are so glad they are back! Honolulu Cookies These cookies come in a variety of packaging, including these beautiful tins! Honolulu Cookies Over at the quick-service spot, Captain Cook’s, we saw a few familiar favorites like the Mike cake and the Moana cake. We did notice that the Rocky Road Cupcake got an updated fall look! Rocky Road Cupcake We thought the new decor was a perfect way to celebrate fall! Christmas may be making its way into the parks, but we still love a good autumn treat. Rocky Road Cupcake At the Barefoot Pool Bar, we recently found an adorable coconut cup! And now, this little guy gets its own specialty drink, the Moku Niu. You are still able to get it with any drink you choose, but now there is a specialty option to go with it! Barefoot Pool Bar Although Holiday Glow Cubes are not on the menu here yet, we were able to snag one for our refreshing drink. Moku Niu Drink This drink brought us right to a tropical island, and we are here for it! You can grab the Moku Niu and the coconut for $21 and the holiday glow cube for $4.69. Check out our review of the Rocky Road cupcake with a makeover Disney’s Contemporary Resort In Disney’s Contemporary Resort, we passed by Contempo Cafe to check out any new menu items. We found the holiday cookies at this location! First up is the Gingerbread Cookie for $6.25. Gingerbread Man We also saw the Mickey Linzer Cookie available for $6.50. Mickey Linzer Cookie Plus, we tried the Chocolate Peppermint Cookie for $5.50. Chocolate Peppermint Cookie Some of these goodies were sold at the gingerbread displays last year, but now they are available at the Contempo Cafe! Over in the Bayview Gift Shop, we found several new holiday treats! HOLIDAY TREATS! We tried the returning Eggnog Fudge, the Gingerbread Mickey Cookie, the Mickey Santa Caramel Apple, and the Holiday Red Velvet Cupcake. We were surprised to see so many holiday treats at this location but we are not complaining! Read our review of the returning Eggnog Fudge Disney’s Wilderness Lodge At Wilderness Lodge, not much was new since our last visit. However, we got to try the Thanksgiving Cupcake now available at Roaring Fork! Thanksgiving Cupcake Our favorite part of the cupcake was the caramel filling on the inside. A delightful fall treat! Here’s our full review of the Thanksgiving Cupcake Construction Updates Polynesian Resort The Polynesian Resort is currently under construction as they do a Moana themed revamp to the resort. Because of this, the monorail no longer stops at the Polynesian. Polynesian Monorail Station Closed However, with the monorail no longer an option, the boats that run from the resorts to Magic Kingdom now stop at the Polynesian! While the monorail closure is temporary it is nice to have another mode of transportation to get to the parks. Read more about the Polynesian refurbishment Merchandise Updates Polynesian Resort Not only did we spot the beloved Honolulu Cookies in Boutiki at Disney’s Polynesian Resort, but we also found a special holiday pin. This one features one of our favorite sidekicks, Hei Hei! Hei Hei Holiday Pin You can spot this little one in a holiday wreath that says the Polynesian Village Resort. Hei Hei is just too cute!

Quite a lot of news has been released lately about Disney Springs! Disney Springs Just today, we heard about a revamped holiday scavenger hunt, holiday entertainment, and a Santa watercade(!) coming soon to this spot, as well as a one store closure. But wait, there’s more! Especially if you’re looking for gift ideas for yourself or others, you’ll definitely want to check out all of the awesome, new merchandise we spotted during our last trip to Disney Springs! Merchandise Updates World of Disney First, let’s head over to World of Disney (a store big enough to TOTALLY get lost in) and see what new things we spotted. One strange thing we noticed is that we were routed a rather unique way back near Basin to get to the line to get into the store. World of Disney Line And, as the picture makes clear, we were NOT the only ones waiting to get into World of Disney that afternoon. World of Disney Line But, after a few minutes of waiting, we made our way into Disney merch paradise! World of Disney Line If you’ve LOVE the shoulder plush trend, then you absolutely MUST see this new Forky shoulder plush! He is most certainly not trash in our eyes! That, or he’s the most adorable piece of trash we’ve ever worn. Forky Shoulder Plush He sits on your shoulder guys!! Like, what more could you want?! In your head, it can be Forky Asks a Question 24/7! ©Disney Forky Magnetic Shoulder Plush- Toy Story 4 Check out our full post about the Forky shoulder plush here! If you’re still in the spooky season mood, then you’ll love that the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction Haunted Mansion collection was also available in World of Disney! Haunted Mansion Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction Collection There were limited quantities of several items from the collection available, including the Minnie ears and plush. We expect that this will be snatched up very quickly though, so be sure to ask for it the next time you’re there but don’t be surprised if it’s all already gone to regions beyond. Click here to see what items were still available when we visited! Is your mask collection in need of an update? Don’t worry — Disney has you covered! While we were in World of Disney we spotted some of the newer mask designs (on that new fabric) available there. There was a Buzz Lightyear design… Buzz Lightyear Mask …a Coco one… Coco Mask …a Jack Skellington mask, and more! Jack Skellington Suit Mask To check out ALL the new masks we found, click here! If you were a big fan of the tie dye spirit jersey or are looking for something to go with your new tie dye Mickey mask, then you’ll love these new-to-us tie dye Disney items! We found a very colorful Tie Dye Shirt with Mickey front and center for $36.99… Tie Dye Mickey Shirt …a darker colored shirt with a tie dye feature on the side for $36.99… Tie Dye Darker Shirt …and a Tie Dye Hoodie with Walt Disney World on the front… Tie Dye Hoodie …and more tie dye features in the back for $44.99. Tie Dye Hoodie Back Finally, if you’re looking for a way to give back to others this holiday season, we saw a sign in World of Disney announcing that Disney will be donating $1 to Toys for Tots for every new, unwrapped toy you donate at a World of Disney store or online through December 13th. Toys for Tots We also saw a bin in the store where you can donate a new, unwrapped toy. Toys for Tots Bin So, you can do a bit of shopping for yourself in World of Disney, and a bit of shopping for others as well. D-Tech on Demand Next, let’s venture over to Marketplace Co-Op and stop by D-Tech on Demand to see if anything new has popped up! Has another day truly passed if you haven’t seen at least 1 new Baby Yoda merchandise item? We say no, and our recent trip to Disney Springs gave us even MORE Baby Yoda merchandise to love! While we were at D-Tech we spotted some NEW Baby Yoda Holiday Magnets! There’s this one that says “Rolling Through the Snow” (we see what you did there Disney) for $14.99… Baby Yoda Holiday Magnet …and another one featuring the always adorable Baby Yoda making a snow angel! Baby Yoda Snow Angel Magnet But that’s not all! We had already seen some Baby Yoda holiday phone cases in EPCOT, but we also found this “Tis the Season for the Bounty” case in Disney Springs! We SO LOVE that the Mandalorian helmet is being used as the snowman head. And just look at how proud Baby Yoda looks of his creation. It’s almost too much holiday happiness to handle! Baby Yoda Case There were a number of other holiday phone cases available as well including one with that Disney Parks holiday pattern. Holiday Phone Cases We also saw that holiday snacks phone case again, which just keeps making us hungry! Holiday Phone Cases As we were looking through the customization screens, we also found this Season’s GROOTINGS holiday phone case. We could not be happier with these festive puns. Guardians of the Galaxy Phone Case You can use the customization screens at D-Tech to add your name or other text and make your case unique! Holiday Phone Case But, if you’re more of a MagicBand collector, then you’ll want to check out the holiday MagicBands we spotted! There was a Mickey Gingerbread Man MagicBand, one featuring Mickey and friends dressed in their holiday best, and a Happy Holidays design (and of course a cute, non-holiday specific Baby Yoda one as well). MagicBands Again, you can head to the customization stations to get a better view of these and make them your own. We love this one featuring stockings themed to some of the fab 5! Holiday Magic Band The price for a standard phone case from D-Tech is $29.99, with specialty phone cases costing $34.99, and personalizations priced at $5.00. You can see the prices for the customized and personalized MagicBands and the phone cases in the photo below. D-Tech Prices Uniqlo Finally, we ended our Disney Springs trip with a visit to Uniqlo. It seems there’s always something cool to see here! During our most recent stop at this store, we spotted a whole NEW Disney Princess Songs Collection celebrating some of our favorite princesses and their signature songs. Disney Princess Songs Collection For the adults, there were shirts in sizes XS to XL for $14.90. We spotted quite a few designs including this “Part of Your World” shirt… Ariel Shirt …a Rapunzel one… Rapunzel Shirt …and this great Beauty and the Beast shirt! Beaty and the Beast Shirt But, Jasmine fans, don’t worry! You haven’t been left out! We also found this great design featuring Jasmine and Aladdin riding away on their magic carpet… Aladdin and Jasmine Shirt …that had this great design on the back with some of the lyrics from the song. Try to read it without singing — we couldn’t! Jasmine and Aladdin Shirt Back There was also a Little Mermaid “Life is the Bubbles” shirt… Little Mermaid “Life is the Bubbles” Shirt …with another back design featuring more lyrics. Little Mermaid Shirt If you want to get some princess song shirts for your kids, they have those too for $9.90. Disney Princess Kids Shirts We spotted an Ariel design that reminds us… Ariel Shirt …life is the bubbles under the sea! Ariel Shirt There was also a Rapunzel design… Rapunzel Shirt …a Beauty and the Beast shirt… Beauty and the Beast Shirt …and an adorable Jasmine shirt! Jasmine Shirt And finally, there were dresses for kids for $14.90. There was a beautiful Ariel design… Ariel Kids Dress …one for princesses who feel like they’re ready to take on any adventure (with a frying pan and a trusty friend of course)… Rapunzel Kids Dress …and one for princesses who dream of visiting a whole new world.

We recently hopped into our favorite Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow to check out all of the newest arrivals! We couldn’t help but notice one of the newest changes was the WEATHER. It was actually chilly enough to spot Alice in her caplet! Hi, Alice! Let’s see what else we discovered on our latest trip to EPCOT! EPCOT Construction Updates One of the first updates we noticed was a slight change in the overhead announcement! All of the information was the same, but the voice was different! Over in the Norway Pavilion, Frozen Ever After began its scheduled refurbishment. We can’t help but wonder if it’s to help Elsa out with her little mishap from earlier this year. Sign near Frozen Ever After Luckily this downtime is only scheduled to last through November 6th, so we’ll be back on and sailing off to Arendelle in no time! Click here to learn more about Frozen Ever After’s brief downtime! EPCOT Food Updates We noticed on our most recent trip to EPCOT that the holiday drinks are starting to arrive at Joffrey’s! You can find seasonal beverages such as their Peppermint Mocha Latte or the White Chocolate Gingerbread Latte! If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even add in some extra holiday “spirits,” if you catch our drift. Holiday drink selections at Joffrey’s in EPCOT We also spotted the “Happy Snowman,” which you can purchase with or without alcohol! Holiday drink selections at Joffrey’s in EPCOT We won’t lie, the arrival of holiday drinks is almost as exciting as the arrival of the Pumpkin Spice Latte. Almost. Click here to read our review of Joffrey’s White Chocolate Gingerbread Latte! Speaking of special holiday beverages, we stopped by La Cava del Tequila in the Mexico Pavilion and tried their limited-time Día de los Muertos Margarita! Spooky! Not only was this a tasty beverage, but the presentation of the drink was in an of itself a total experience! Día de los Muertos margariga Unfortunately this margarita was pretty exclusive and was only available on November 2nd! We hope it returns next year! While the Mexico Pavilion had a very limited-time item available, we picked up an item in the China Pavilion that’s actually been around for a while! Honey Butter Chips from the China Pavilion We’ve been eyeing the Honey Butter Chips for quite some time and we finally took the plunge! Friends, these chips are DELICIOUS! Definitely give them a try next time you’re in the China Pavilion! Honey Butter Chips from the China Pavilion We may have found our new go-to snack to munch on while we stroll around World Showcase! Click here to see a VIDEO of the Día de los Muertos Margarita! EPCOT Merchandise Updates Mouse Gear In Mouse Gear, we came across the new fuzzy sweatshirt collection, just in time to keep us extra warm as the days and nights become a bit cooler! Fuzzy Donald Sweatshirt We also found new holiday masks! These masks are made of that new material that everyone seems to enjoy MUCH more than the first type of fabric Disney was using. New holiday face masks! That new fabric must cost Disney a pretty penny, because the price for their face masks SKYROCKETED from $6.00 a mask to $9.99 each plus tax! Face mask price increase Once we picked ourselves up from off the floor after collapsing over those new face mask prices, we found a couple of new sweatshirts! We spotted this adorable Minnie sweatshirt for $52.99. Minnie sweatshirt at Mouse Gear We also found a fun Pizza Planet sweatshirt, also retailing for $52.99 at Mouse Gear! Pizza Planet sweatshirt at Mouse Gear With the weather starting to turn, we’re always glad to see more cold weather gear arrive in the parks! Click here to learn more about the HUGE price increase for Disney’s face masks! Norway Next, it was time to head into World Showcase to check out the merchandise scene! The Norway Pavilion had a few fun Frozen-inspired ornaments. Frozen ornaments This Olaf glass ornament (featuring a little bit of Gale!) retails for $26.99 Olaf ornament This Elsa ornament sings “Into the Unknown” and retails for $24.99 Singing Elsa ornament If you haven’t guessed already, our Christmas tree is about to become filled with Disney ornaments. Click here to check out more Disney-inspired ornaments based on some of our favorite attractions! Annual Passholder Pop-Up Shop The temporary Annual Passholder Pop-Up Shop has a new Merry and Bright collection for AP’s to scoop up! Merry & Bright Passholder The Annual Passholder-exclusive items have been rotating in and out on a pretty regular basis, so if you want to collect everything this store has to offer, you’ll need to check back regularly! Click here to see more items from the Merry & Bright Passholder collection Canada Last but certainly not least, we checked on the Canada Pavilion to see if we could spot any new merchandise. We found this spirit jersey that retails for $64.99. O Canada Spirit Jersey The sleeves might be our favorite part! It features all of Canada’s provinces! O Canada spirit jersey We may or may not have immediately added this spirit jersey to our holiday gift wish list. Click here to see what it’s like to DINE in the Canada Pavilion at a reopened EPCOT!

Today, while strolling down Sunset Boulevard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we decided to stop off and do some window-shopping in Legends of Hollywood. Legends of Hollywood in Hollywood Studios We’ve been finding TONS of new Christmas merchandise all around the Walt Disney World parks, and today was no exception! Today we spotted not one, not two, but SIX new holiday Pandora charms! The six charms came in two sets of three, and both sets were, well, CHARMing! The first set featured a snowman with Mickey ears, a snowglobe design with hidden Mickeys, and a heart-shaped charm with an ice-skating (and kissing) Mickey and Minnie. New Pandora Charms at Legends of Hollywood in Hollywood Studios Our favorite of the three was definitely the Mickey and Minnie charm — look at them going on a wintery date together! (There’s a similar design on an Alex and Ani bracelet in Magic Kingdom.) All three of these charms are just really precious, and you can own the set for $225. New Christmas Pandora Charms in Hollywood Studios The other set that we spotted featured more muted Christmas designs with less obvious Disney theming. This set included a heart-shaped “Tinsel Tidings” charm and two different snowflake charms with hidden Mickey details. These charms are also sold as a set for $225. New Christmas Pandora Charms in Hollywood Studios We’re loving these subtle ways to introduce Disney (and Christmas) into our wardrobes! If these charms are catching your eye, make sure to head on down to Legends of Hollywood to see them for yourself! We will be on the lookout because we bet they will be in more locations as well.

Just a few weeks ago, the official California theme park reopening guidelines were released. It has since been speculated that Disneyland may not be able to open until the summer of 2021 due to the requirements contained in the guidelines. Disneyland Gate Specifically, larger theme parks are not able to open until the county they are located in reaches the lowest (or yellow) tier in California’s reopening structure. But, smaller theme parks are allowed to reopen once the county they are located in reaches the third (or orange) risk level tier. And now, one small theme park has set its reopening date. According to The Orange County Register, Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk will be the FIRST amusement park to reopen its rides under California’s theme park reopening guidelines, following a seven-month closure. The Boardwalk is able to reopen because it is considered a “small” theme park, with a capacity of less than 15,000 visitors. The county it is located in reached the orange or third tier recently and now the theme park is set to reopen on November 7th. Metrics needed for California counties to advance to reopening tiers. Source: covid19.ca.gov Pursuant to the state’s guidelines, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk can reopen at a capacity of 500 in-county visitors, and must require all guests to have an advance reservation in order to enter. So, starting this Saturday, Santa Cruz County residents with advance reservations will be able to enjoy some boardwalk rides once again. ©Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk Advanced hours and dates have been announced for November 7th and 8th so far, but it’s expected that they’ll announce additional dates soon. Two reservation sessions have also been announced: 12PM to 2PM, and 3PM to 5PM. From 2PM to 3PM there is a cleaning session scheduled. You can attend both sessions, but you’ll need separate reservations for each. The Boardwalk website also notes that there will be no in-and-out access. If you’re a Beach Boardwalk season passholder, you’ll be able to enter for free. Everyone else can purchase a 25-point Boardwalk card good for rides and games for $25. ©Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is California’s oldest amusement park, and plans to reopen in off-season mode with just 8-10 rides in operation. A number of rollercoasters and other outdoor rides are expected to reopen this weekend including the 1924 Giant Dipper wooden coaster, Fireball, and more. The Carousel and other indoor rides, however, will remain closed. Visitors wanting to hop on those boardwalk rides will undergo a temperature screening and will have to verify their county residency. There are also a number of other rules and regulations regarding masks and more listed on the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk website. ©Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk The shops and restaurants at the Boardwalk have already been open in a limited capacity, and miniature golf, bowling, and an outdoor arcade will also be open to all guests, regardless of what county they live in. Because this is a “small” theme park, the rules are different than those that apply to Disneyland, as it is a “large” theme park. Under the current guidelines, Disneyland will not be able to reopen until Orange County (the county where it is located) reaches the lowest risk tier. Disney California Adventure But, that doesn’t mean Disneyland isn’t taking steps to prepare for when it can reopen. In fact, Disneyland has already announced that it plans to install thousands of health and safety measures to prepare for an eventual reopening, we’ve seen new features added to the Disneyland app, and Disneyland will actually be reopening part of Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure Park for some limited shopping and dining later this year. Disney California Adventure Park Health & Safety Signs Right now, all reservations at Disneyland Resort hotels are canceled through mid-November, but all of this is subject to change. We’re watching for any update related to Disneyland’s reopening and will let you know if we spot any updates. Should Disneyland just reopen as a mall? Here are our thoughts!

Over the years, we’ve seen a number of stores close and new stores open at Disney Springs. Disney Springs Just recently, Wolfgang Puck Express permanently closed, and now a luxury luggage and accessories store in Disney Springs has permanently closed as well. TUMI is a luxury brand that sells luggage, backpacks, bags, briefcases, and other accessories. We took a look at the TUMI website, and something like a compact 4 wheeled brief from TUMI can be yours for $495, while their “just in case” backpack (normally $100) is available right now for $69. ©TUMI TUMI previously had a store located in the Town Center area of Disney Springs, but the Disney website now notes that the store is “Temporarily Unavailable.” Screenshot from Disney Website When we called TUMI, an employee told us that the Disney Springs location has in fact permanently closed and will not be reopening. Disney Springs Recently, we also spotted some signs indicating that Lucky Brand’s Disney Springs location had mysteriously closed. But, just as some stores or restaurants at Disney Springs are closing, others — like Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew and Gideon’s Bakehouse are preparing to open. We’re keeping an eye on all of these changes and will definitely let you know if we spot any updates. Click here to check out some of the holiday entertainment coming to Disney Springs this year!

We’ve had Pumpkin Spice Waffles, a Pumpkin Pie Tart, a Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake, Pumpkin Mousse, and MORE pumpkin treats all around Disney World. Basically, if it tastes or looks like fall, odds are we’re going to try it! Pumpkin Pie Tart And today, we’re back at it again! We stopped by one of the Disney World Resort hotels and found boozy pumpkin treat and just had to see how it would stack up against all the other pumpkin things we’ve had. Over at The Artist’s Palette in Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort we found the NEW Bourbon Pumpkin Cheesecake with a graham cracker-like crust and cream cheese frosting, topped with spiced pecans! Bourbon Pumpkin Cheesecake The pumpkin cheesecake itself was very sweet and creamy, and had a good pumpkin flavor. We really enjoyed the graham cracker-like crust but wished there was more of it! A thicker layer of the crust would have really helped balance the creaminess of this dish with a bit more crunch. Bourbon Pumpkin Cheesecake Overall, the treat was very tasty! People who are ALL about that pumpkin spice life will find this treat totally scrumptious. Younger kids and those who prefer a larger crust to filling ratio, however, may not fall in love with this one. Bourbon Pumpkin Cheesecake If you’re curious and want to taste it for yourself, you can pick it up right now from The Artist’s Palette for $5.49.

Love Your Melon is releasing a NEW Disney collection and we are ready for it! This company has partnered with Disney in the past to make cute beanies, clothes, masks, and more — all featuring some of our favorite Disney characters! ©Love Your Melon This company is a great one to support, because they donate 50% of all their profits to nonprofit organizations that fight against pediatric cancer. And now, we have even more reason to purchase their products, because they’re releasing a new Disney collection THIS WEEK! On Thursday, November 5th, the new Disney X Love Your Melon Winter Knit Collection will be available for purchase on Love Your Melon’s website. The new collection features beanies, hats, and blankets, all with nods to Mickey and Minnie! ©Love Your Melon We hopped on over to their website to check out the collection before it launches, and we love the subtle Mickey and Minnie silhouettes that the items feature! The regular beanies will cost $40, with the option to pay more for a cashmere fabric. Those who wish to be more bold can opt for the Double Pom Beanies (The poms look like mouse ears!), which start at $65. ©Love Your Melon If you’re not really a beanie person, or you live in a place where it isn’t cold enough to wear one, you can check out their baseball caps! The caps are suede and come in four different colors with either a Mickey or a Minnie on the front. Each of the caps costs $45. ©Love Your Melon The collection also includes blankets, so you can add that Disney touch to your bedroom or living room! The blankets come in four colors as well and are 50″ x 60″. They’re made of yarn and will set you back $105 each. ©Love Your Melon If you’re interested in any of these items, make sure to set your alarms!

Gideon’s Bakehouse There’s just one problem… It’s kinda hard to countdown the days when we don’t have an opening date!

We were checking out the holiday offerings in Disney Springs today when we noticed something surprising on the list of holiday dining. Yes! Gideon’s Bakehouse is listed! So does that mean that this spot is expected to open in time for the holidays? It sure seems that way! Disney Site Screenshot Of course, we already knew that this spot is expected to open sometime in 2020 per the construction walls and announcements from Gideon’s Bakehouse. But, this update might mean that we won’t have to wait until the VERY end of the year. Gideon’s Bakehouse With Its New Sign From what we can see, the building is definitely getting closer to completion. Plus, the location has been hiring for a few weeks now, so we are in full prep mode for cookies.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Disney World… Hollywood Studios Christmas …which happens to be one of the busiest seasons of the year! As a quick update, Disney implemented a new Park Pass reservation system that monitors capacity levels in the theme parks. Guests must make a reservation prior to entering the parks and passes are subject to availability. Holidays and weekends tend to fill up the quickest and December has been filling up fast! This is especially true for reservations at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom on Christmas Day. Now, more reservations have filled up for Christmas Day and News Years Eve! On our last update, reservations for general Theme Park Ticket Guests and Disney Resort Guests were completely full for Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The one exception was Christmas Day, which instead was full at the Magic Kingdom. Now, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is full for the entire month including December 25th. Again, this applies to Theme Park Ticket Guests… ©Disney …and Disney Resort Guests. Annual Passholder reservations are currently available for all four theme parks on Christmas Day. ©Disney As for December 31st, Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom are also booked for Theme Park Ticket Guests… ©Disney …and Disney Resort Guests. Much like Christmas, Passholder reservations are currently wide open on New Year’s Eve. ©Disney This was a lot of information and dates so let’s do a quick recap! Christmas Day: Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom unavailable for Theme Park Ticket Guests and Disney Resort Guests. Reservations are still available for Annual Passholders. New Year’s Eve: Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom unavailable for Theme Park Ticket Guests and Disney Resort Guests. Reservations are still available for Annual Passholders. Holiday Decorations at Hollywood Studios Disney will occasionally release more reservations throughout the month to accommodate popular weekends and holidays. We suggest keeping an eye on Disney World’s reservation calendar and follow along with our updates! Check out the new boarding process for Rise of the Resistance at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

While there’s some merchandise that you can find all through Disney World no matter where you go, there are some spots with really unique (and sometimes incredibly delicious) items you can only get there, and sometimes they develop a bit of a following. Honolulu Cookie Company Shortbread Cookies That seems to be the case with the Honolulu Cookie Company cookies that used to be available at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! We hadn’t spotted these cookies at this hotel for a WHILE, but recently we noticed…they are back! That’s right — a few different Honolulu Cookie Company cookie sets are now back in stock in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! These premium, Hawaiian-inspired shortbread cookies actually haven’t been available here since July and a Cast Member at the hotel shared that they were previously told the resort wouldn’t be getting any more of the cookies until next year, but plans seem to have changed! Honolulu Cookies Back in Stock! The Cast Member also told us that guests ask about these cookies all day, and that the extra large boxes of the cookies actually sold out with just a few minutes of being restocked. So, if you’ve been looking for some fun shortbread cookies, you can now stop by the Polynesian to try some of these! We’re getting hungry just thinking about them! Just imagine how good these could be with a nice cup of coffee or tea. YUM. If we spot any more unique Disney snacks, we’ll definitely let you know about them so you can grab some during your next trip!
